Are there any real local dating apps that aren't just nationwide shells?

Hoping someone here has done the legwork on there any real local dating apps that aren't just nationwide shells.

My actual question is narrower: filtering out the scripts.

Tell me what I'm missing about HER.

I had the opposite result with HER, and I gave it a fair run.

Whatever you decide about HER, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.

I would check Luvdate next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on HER.

Holly, that has not been my experience of HER.tested HER deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

I would check Datewander next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on HER.

Results on HER improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

Kept a tally on HER in the past year and the numbers were not what I expected.

Depends heavily on context — HER can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

I rotated through a few while working on HER and Ezhookups had the least friction on the free tier.

As far as I can tell, opinion on HER swings further than the reality does.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of HER.

It is narrower than that: HER can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

Someone raised Datebound in a thread about HER and it turned out to be a reasonable shout.

The loudest opinions on HER usually come from the shortest usage.

Partly agree — HER can hold up, even so not for the reason stated.

Worth adding Datedesire to whatever shortlist you are building around HER.
